The Balvenie 21 Year Old Portwood

When family asks me what I want for Father's Day or Birthdays, I say "Scotch". This has allowed me to build a nice collection of some pricey whiskeys. One of them was this one. This scotch is old enough to vote so I didn't feel like I was robbing the cradle.

Palate: Very smooth
Nose: Flowers, nuts
Color: amber
Finish: Mild and warm

Save the Date

I will be giving a presentation on U 853, the last U boat sunk off the east coast the day after the surrender. Hope to see you there.

Shrooms from the Catacombs

Mailer Daemon Movie

My nephew has written and directed a short film about the guy that returns your emails to you. It was filmed at his dad's house. They built the set in his garage and scrounged props from the family to set up the office. They used some of the crew from NCIS New Orleans while the show was on hiatus. This is a short about the behind the scenes action.

Head Count

Saudi Arabia beheaded 2 murderers last month. Their year to date total is now 53. I expect them to play catch up now that Ramadan is over.
